2 | Is salvation by faith only scriptural? | James 2:14 | Scribe | 54624 | ||
Since we know that James and Paul could not be teaching different truths and both be inspired by God we start off with the assumption that James would be adding to the thought about the fact that a man is justified by faith alone and not by the deeds of the law by explaining to those that would twist faith into something other than the kind of Faith that Paul was teaching James makes it clear the the Faith that is saving Faith shows forth evidence or works , but what did James give as an example? Sabbath keeping? No, Baptism in water? No, Circumcision? Aboslutely not. James uses examples of walking in love toward others in need as an example that you have been changed by saving Faith. So if we would be in agreement with both Paul and James, we will believe that we are the righteousness of God by faith in Jesus Christ and as we go forth we look for opportunities to love a person in need. | ||||||
